mm/mmu_notifier.c: fix race in mmu_interval_notifier_remove()
In some cases it is possible for mmu_interval_notifier_remove() to race
with mn_tree_inv_end() allowing it to return while the notifier data
structure is still in use. Consider the following sequence:
CPU0 - mn_tree_inv_end() CPU1 - mmu_interval_notifier_remove()
----------------------------------- ------------------------------------
spin_lock(subscriptions->lock);
seq = subscriptions->invalidate_seq;
spin_lock(subscriptions->lock); spin_unlock(subscriptions->lock);
subscriptions->invalidate_seq++;
wait_event(invalidate_seq != seq);
return;
interval_tree_remove(interval_sub); kfree(interval_sub);
spin_unlock(subscriptions->lock);
wake_up_all();
As the wait_event() condition is true it will return immediately. This
can lead to use-after-free type errors if the caller frees the data
structure containing the interval notifier subscription while it is
still on a deferred list. Fix this by taking the appropriate lock when
reading invalidate_seq to ensure proper synchronisation.
I observed this whilst running stress testing during some development.
You do have to be pretty unlucky, but it leads to the usual problems of
use-after-free (memory corruption, kernel crash, difficult to diagnose
WARN_ON, etc).
